A novel amide synthesis methodology is described using amines, CO<sub>2</sub> and Grignard reagents and Mitsunobu reagents. The method was applied to carbon-11 radiochemistry to label amides using cyclotron-produced [<sup>11</sup>C]CO<sub>2</sub>. The synthetic utility of the one-pot labelling methodology was demonstrated by producing [<sup>11</sup>C]melatonin. The incorporation of [<sup>11</sup>C]CO<sub>2</sub> into [<sup>11</sup>C]melatonin was 36% - determined by radioHPLC 2 min post [<sup>11 ...[more]
